Young Guns GB #3- Must be under 18!!!

Lookin good rebelreenactor. The salt chips came out looking good, I never had luck with that.

Here is the AWACS DINN done http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c353/Char-88/IMG_0487.jpg now it needs a bath and then it is painting time. Note the base is not for that I just put it on there to show it in flying mode. Also the head set can move to the back to put it in ground mode, also the radar dish can move up in down the with head set.

reb- yea those sandbags arre REALLY glossy!

we had one snow day last year.....still waitin for one this year, even though it snowed like a foot this week! but they cleared the snow in time for school hopefully tommorrow, its supposed to snow a lot in the morning....

ya know, reb, somehow i take issue with a huge armored box with a tremendous gun sticking out of it being referred to as "she". I think "he" might be more appropriate.

now tanky, ya gotta remember that it gets pretty lonely out there in the badlands of Cali.....

Frog, Looks good man

Crap, I left myself open for that one. Lets call the tank Pat.

Here is the AWACS DINN with lts dark sea grey base coat http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c353/Char-88/IMG_0562.jpg next up is light blue and black.

been workin a lot today because of, yep that wonderful climatic phenomenon, your friend andmine, SNOW.  snowday, FINALLY!!!!  course it sucked inthe morning, as my mom rushed into my room at 6:30 cause i was late gettin up and might niss the bus.  then once i was about to finishdressin and put my shoes on, she comes up, and tells me to go back to sleep, cause schools cancelled.  i equate it to one of the times when NORAD got a threat of nuclear war with Russia, and they scrambled to determine if it was real, and then just before they think doomsday is upon us,they find out it was a glitch, or test run by mistake.  NEway.....ive been buildin up a preiser germanfigure to be comin out of the bunker surrendering, andim hoping to make another dead in thetrench.  i would post up pics but our computer went down temporarily, so im using my dads crappy laptop, which i dont wanna put anything on because its had lots of problems in the past and hes trying to keep it clean of all 'unnecessary' material.  (actually, part of the crappiness comes from my having broken half the keyboard from hitting the keys too hard while playin MOHAA on it.  consequently, that got taken off with a load of other stuff.)  but, stuffs gettin done at least....

Yo reb.PakNicK-40 here.Had some problems logging in with the old account.So finally got to get back on,but the writing is VERY small...so anyways,im back,and am still in the build(i hope)

-DJ

Thanks DJ-Were on break too!!! How long do you have break for?We have 3 weeks.....

Very nice gringe! Lucky. 

Nick, welcome back!

We had our last day today and it was quite crazy for me. 1-4 periods were grate. then at lunch I snuck off campus in my truck with some friends to go in some mud. Well I had a great time driving through a huge mud-water puddle thing. But apparently the place is private proprerty and somebody tipped off the school that there were a whole bunch of kids over there. As soon as I got back on campus I was screwed. They took me and my friends who were with me into the rc. (responsibility center). There they found that I was junior as well as my 2 friends. Juniors aren't allowed to leave campus at lunch. I had to talk to the po po (lol) and a whole bucnh of school people. I was able to make off with only a saturday school because I "cooperated." I was headed straight for suspension too, and they threatened to take away my license. Thak god I still have it.

My dad doesnt know I got in trouble but he was freakin mad when he saw my truck so dirty.

I hope this link works. One of my firends took a video  on my phone. this is me...

Nick, I had that problem too.  Hold down the control key and pull the mouse wheel twoards you.  It should make the text bigger.

NOICE...... YOU MAKE THE DUKE BOYS PROUD! yyyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwww

why cant juniors go off campus and others can?

no progress here.....have to go and make a sword and shield for a play i have to put on tommorrow......ugh

-DJ

dang it! It didn't work?! What was wrong with it?

Dj, going off campus is supposed to be a senior privlage.

Dad was not happy when he saw the engine. He said no more mud! But hey, that just means I got to clean the truck off after I come home

 

Now, Time to get some building in!

Christmas break!  Now I can finish that P-51 and Pz. I B

shutup man!  i still got a week of school left!!  this sucks terribly.....

got group meeting tonight.  e-mail's down so i dont know whats on the agenda.  anyway, ive been workin on some of the figs for the bunker.  ill post up some pics when i get the time...

ya, no school is great! I'm going to work tommorow though. I got a job at my grandmas store for the Christmas season.(kinda late) I would have gone today but my truck battery is shot. Needs either a charging or a replacing.

At the risk of sounding ignorant, what exactly is a group build?

PZL- a group build is a bunch of us getting together (over the net) and we decide upon building somethings on a decided topic (such as battle of the bulge Group build would require you to work on something from that era and battle) we just get together and talk about how its going, problems we have or just randumb stuff....this group build requires that you only have to be under 18 years old...and we just build anything.... hope that sums it up

well, today didnt do much, had to do my christmas shopping done, and tommorrow im not gonna have anything done cuz im gonna be SNOWBOARDIN THE WHOLE DAY!!!!

-enjoy skool- hehehe -DJ

a group build is where a bunch of members get together and build something according to a set of guidelines.  these vary from build to build.  for instance, we in the Young Guns can build anything, so long as we the participants are all junior modelers, under 18.  other builds may be about certain vehicles, units, time periods, theatres of combat, nationalities, etc.  Tipically, there's a time limit to the builds, generally a couple months.  this one goes until about April ( to allow for building time + school for us at least).  others may be "mad builds" where you build the subject in a weekend or less time.  each build has its own guidlines and rules given on the first page, along with the participants names and builds.  the GB's as we call them, normally have 'badges,' unique pictures that you put up in your sig (signature, at the bottom of all your posts, mine has four badges in it) and that tells people you're in a build.  thats basically it.  its a lot simpler than i described it.  just check out the first pages of builds to find out about them.

hope it helps!

Here is the DINN with most of the basic paint done, http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c353/Char-88/IMG_0617.jpg need to clear coat it today then start the brush painting. Also need to mask out parts of the radar dish to paint. Sorry the pic is not great I was only half awake when I took it

   Thanks for your replies, Gringe88 and Double D. I am 17. Can I join this group build?

half awake, or a little to much to drink

 

PZL P.62, you are more than welcome to join the build.

I wouldn’t mind joining too if I can. I’ve never done a GB before, I could contribute my Revell PT-109.

Cool. I will be building Heller's Me 163 Komet.

That is why it is bad to get up and take pictures at 4:30AM. Or dont drink water and take pics at the same time

ah, good, i see we have another night haunt keeper.  4:30 isnt a bad record man, though ive been up til 5:30 on some occasions, to get up at 6 for school, wasnt building though.  i think that takes the cake.

(P.S.- actually, don't ever do that, it was really dumb, and i got really screwed....)

been workin on some of the preiser figs, reposing them.  one is done and ready to paint, the other's takin a little longer.  i may have to scatch built an arm.  i dont think hell mind the prosthetic though, hell be dead....
